Lonely Shadow got up early this day, he gently pushed open the window, the sun had not yet risen, and it was dark outside.

But even at this time, there was already a noise outside the inn, and the streets were full of people, after all, today was the opening day of the Qicheng Dragon and Tiger Championship, and this competition, led by Bai Qing, the first powerhouse in Qicheng, naturally aroused the strong interest of the people of Qicheng, and even the crowds and contestants from other places continued to pour into Qicheng.

"There are so many people!" Lone Shadow crouched in front of the window and watched the flow of people coming and going below, it stands to reason that this competition should no longer be attractive to Lone Shadow, after all, his original purpose of participating in the competition was to improve his reputation to find that Mr. Su, and the other was to accept Bai Yusheng's challenge to fulfill his original promise to Mu Yuchen, and now that these two things have been resolved, this competition has actually lost its meaning to Lone Shadow.

Lone Shadow leaned on the edge of the window and watched for a while, took a deep breath, and turned to pick up his Dao sword from the table.

"Huh" Lone Shadow pulled out the Dao Sword from the scabbard, and took a deep look at the Dao Sword with a faint inscription on it because it was integrated into the abyss fragments, he still had to participate in this game, and what Mr. Su said before completely changed the direction of his future life.

He wants to recognize the sword in his hand and accept the sword in his heart, to do this, he can only identify himself through continuous battles, show his strength, play his prestige, and return to the peak of his past.

"Xiaobai, you are waiting for me at the inn, and you are not allowed to run around, you know?" After checking the Dao Sword in his hand, Lone Shadow said to Xiaobai, who was half-asleep on the bed.

After all, this is a personal competition, and the spirit pet can't be brought in, and it is not safe to put Xiaobai in the crowded competition scene alone, after all, with its current appearance, the probability of being robbed is very high.

Xiao Bai just shook his big furry tail slowly when he heard this, and he didn't know if it had listened to it, Lone Shadow shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and after washing up seriously, he went out, he also wanted to appreciate the demeanor of Tianjiao in the Southern Regions.

"Squeak?" Soon after the lone shadow left, Xiaobai, who was still sleeping, stood up suddenly, looked around blankly with two big eyes, and suddenly remembered that today was the day of the lone shadow competition, but at this time there was no shadow of the lone shadow in the room, it fluttered and got up, and hurriedly ran to chase the lone shadow who had left.

When the lonely shadow walked to the street, the sky was completely bright, and there were more bustling people on the road, compared to those who watched the game, they were even happier than these food stalls in Qicheng, the flow of people in their stalls in the past two days was several times more than in the past, and some stalls even went into battle with a family, so they were afraid that they would not be busy.

Lone Shadow walked towards the competition venue with a crowd of people, but when passing by Lingmu Zhai, Lone Shadow was a little surprised to find that compared to the endless crowds everywhere, this Lingmu Zhai was closed and quiet.

Don't say that if it's still early today, you must know that this medicinal material business is generally open early in the morning to welcome the goods, for fear of neglecting the new arrival of medicinal materials, even if it is not opened, then someone should start cleaning it, but now this Lingmu Zhai feels like a person going to the empty building.

After a pause, Lone Shadow shook his head, secretly saying that if this person couldn't open the door, what did he have to do with him, so he walked towards the competition venue again.

The venue of this competition was selected on the large square in the center of Qicheng, the square is visually divided into three layers, each layer is about half the height of an adult, and there are six huge stone pillars on both sides of the square, it is said that this place was originally used to worship the sky, but later with the passage of time, the alternation of rights, here gradually became a place for the people of Qicheng to enjoy the cool at night.

This time, the tournament was held on the highest platform in the square, and because the venue was sufficient, it was divided into four rings, which could accommodate eight people to compete at the same time.

When Lone Shadow arrived at the square, it was already crowded with people on the inside and outside of the three floors, and a high stand had been set up at the front of the venue, which should be prepared for those big people in Qicheng. Lone Shadow looked around, and for a moment he didn't know where to go, and he didn't know which area the contestant's venue was in, which made him scratch his head a little embarrassed.

In fact, a notice had been posted on Qicheng's side a few days before the start of the competition, but Lone Ying had been thinking about what Mr. Su said at the inn at that time, and he had never been out at all, so he naturally didn't know.

"Why are you standing here?" Just when Lone Shadow was a little overwhelmed, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded behind Lone Shadow, making Lone Shadow stunned.

This voice was all too familiar to Lone Shadow, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Mu Yashu.

Mu Yashu's dress today is no different from when he went to the Kongnan Mountains before, he is wearing a huge bone bow behind his back and holding a spear in his right hand, looking very chic.

"Uh...... I don't know where the contestants are. Lone Shadow shrugged his shoulders a little embarrassed and said, since the last time he quarreled with Mu Yashu, he hadn't seen her for half a month, and now when he saw her again, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought of what happened before.

Mu Yashu glanced at the lonely shadow when she heard this, and with her beautiful face, she looked amorous for a while, and said, "You must not have gone to see the bulletin board in the city, right? Let's go, I'll take you there." ”

After that, Mu Yashu turned his head and walked in one direction, and the lonely shadow scratched his head and looked at the people and didn't say much, so he had to follow stupidly.

"Before...... I'm sorry, but I had a problem with my expression. After thinking about it for a long time, Lone Ying decided to apologize for the events of that day, because after going back that day, he also thought about it for a long time, and felt that the other party was a girl after all, and it must take great courage to say that kind of thing outside, but he said that people don't value reputation, which is indeed a bit excessive.

Mu Yashu suddenly stopped when he heard this, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice with an ugly face, "Do you think it's a matter of expression?"

"Uh...... Isn't it...... Lone Shadow was stunned again, thinking that as long as he sincerely apologized, there should be no problem, but now that he saw that the eldest lady seemed to be even more angry.

"The contestant check-in area is right in front, so go over by yourself. Mu Yashu pointed to a small table buried by the crowd in front of him with a dark face, and then turned his head and got into the crowd, too lazy to take care of the lonely shadow.

"Ai, what's going on...... Woman...... Difficult. Lone Shadow blinked and whispered to himself, but he had finally found a place for the contestants so that he wouldn't run around like a headless fly.

Approaching the check-in desk, I saw that the person in charge of signing in was a thin man with thick glasses and a goatee, he seemed a little hurried at this time, his face was almost pasted on the rice paper on the table, and he pointed the names of the contestants one by one with his fingers to check.

But after a while, it was Lone Shadow's turn, and I heard the goatee ask in a deep voice, "Name?"

"Lone Shadow. ”

"Hmm...... You go in. ”

"Ah...... Is this the end?" asked Lone Shadow in some surprise, thinking that this sign-in would be too hasty, and he was not afraid of others imposting.

"Otherwise, let's get in, next!" said Goatee, waving his hand impatiently, and then cried out at the top of his voice.

Lone Shadow walked into the player's rest area a little unnaturally, but in fact, it's not difficult to understand when you think about it, after all, this is about personal reputation, even if it's someone else's name held by the impostor, when the time comes, the game you worked so hard to play made a wedding dress for someone else, and if you show your stuffing, you will be spurned and become a joke, no matter how you think about it, it's not cost-effective.

After entering the field, Lone Shadow instantly found that the atmosphere of the entire area had changed, and unlike the excitement outside the field, it was filled with a fierce fighting spirit.

Moreover, in the perception of the lonely shadow, the strength of many people here is stronger than that of the ordinary spirit realm, and what Mu Yashu said in his heart is indeed true, the gold content of this competition is indeed not low.

"Huh...... Brother, you're here too. Suddenly, a delicate voice appeared softly beside the lone shadow, and a small hand tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Lone Shadow turned her head to look and found that a little girl was looking at her with her big round eyes, this little girl Lone Shadow seemed to have some impressions in her mind, but she couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

"Are you ......" Lone Shadow paused, he frowned and thought for a long time, he was sure that he must have seen the other party, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"That day...... In Wu Street...... Thank you, brother, for holding Feng'er. The little girl looked a little shy, and said crisply with her big eyes.

Hearing this, Lone Ying patted his head and suddenly became enlightened, no wonder this little girl was so familiar, it turned out that she met her in Wujie at that time. Lone Shadow hugged the little girl with a smile, and said softly, "It turned out to be you, but why did you come here, this little girl? ”

"I ...... I came with my husband. The little girl who was picked up by Lone Shadow became even more shy, and turned her head to the side to not look at Lone Shadow.

Lone Shadow was stunned when he heard this, and when he raised his head, he found that a middle-aged man in a white robe was shaking a folding fan and looking at him with a smile.

"Lone Shadow has seen Mr. Su, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Su here. Lone Shadow turned the little girl in the direction and said to the man in front of him.

"Excuse me, I'm just here to have a casual look, don't be too formal. Mr. Su raised his hand to help the lone shadow up, and said lightly.

Lone Shadow responded with a thank you and exchanged a few words of greeting with Mr. Su.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air in this square, and several figures appeared in everyone's sight, and the person standing in the middle was Bai Qing, who Lone Shadow had seen in the restaurant before, only to see that he had changed into a loose maroon robe today, his hair was standing upright, and his strong muscles were looming in the loose robe, and it seemed to be an insurmountable mountain to that station.

"Dangdang Dang!" When the bigwigs were seated, a gong sounded in the room, and a thin old man who looked like a husband came to the center of the room, cleared his throat and shouted.

"All the adults in the field, the officials and our players, don't be impatient, our Dragon and Tiger Championship is about to begin!"
